Hi.. I would like to know the FC (Fuel consumption) for a V6 mayb 97-01 version... and major problems faced using V6?? cause a fren of mine is trying to compare a CRV and Perdana's mantainance cost, FC etc and see weahter which is more worth his cash.. Thanks for all the HELP!!!

mine is 2001 perdana v6,rm100 can go for around 470.but mostly on long distance la.n im not sure bout the crv la.not much mantainance needed la,but depends on the car condition lo.

 

[ericcky]

i heard from a car dealer that we can do somehting with the fuel consumption by modifying something in the engine... is it true?? whats tat something?? hahah thanks...

100 for 470km..not too bad... my other fren who owned a V6 say a month about RM500.. 06 model

I'm drivin an end-03 Perdana V6.
When I drove it stock tuned, full tank can go bout 450-480km, combination of normal driving n speeding.
My fren's CRV, Rm50 can only go 180km.
I think Perdana's FC is just fine for a 2-liter engine.
After I decat, changed my air intake structure n remap my ecu, I can go bout 180-190km in a Rm50 pump.

Mayb those Perdanas have problems. Mostly because the owner doesnt know how to maintain the car properly or mayb they did it wrongly.
Many encountered gearbox problems n all, but so far mine no prob.
Many Perdana owners drove their car for several years also no prob.
It's actually depends a lot on maintenance.

 

[vince_terrence]

yaya mostly the gearbox problem.but get ur maintenance on time should b no problem,but i found that u guyz must use the toyota atf oil,coz it really diffrent frm other.i oreadi use it,feel the gearbox smooth.

 

[kkyak]

ya maintenance is really important ..
mine is not that all good either. Previous owner didn't take care it and I didn't notice it that time... *sad*
well my car is a 2nd hand car ... alot of thing need to do. my gearbox also got problem but still ok ..repair it once.
exhaust coming out smoke ...suspect gasket wear off...
mine got the tappet sound ..really annoying... *sigh*
anything can be done ??
thinking to buy the engine treat oil to reduce or stop the smoke and the tappet sound .... or any other advise ??

RM50 for 250km? isn't that a bit expensive?
